SPONSORS are being sought for an ambitious product that hopes to hold a Motocross Academy at Wymeswold’s Turnpost Motoparc.

Leicestershire has been host to two of the most prestigious motocross events in the World calendar with a round of the World Championships at the Mallory Park circuit and the Motocross of Nations at Donington Park.

Now the new academy is being established to help more local and national riders realise their ambitions and guide them to success.

The home track of Shepshed Motocross club has undergone tremendous development over recent years, but to turn it into a national facility more investment is required.

Wood chippings for the race surface, more soil to build bigger and more technically challenging obstacles, hardstanding for paddock and roadways are just a few of the projects which need addressing.

“The purpose is to help bring guidance and structure to aspiring young Motocross athletes, to help gain those serious athletes sponsorship support to help them compete at the highest level,” organiser Howard Marriott said. “We are therefore looking for local businesses to support the academy through various forms of support, either with cash sponsorship or supply of materials.”
